Fiddle-Clawhammer Banjo-Back Up Guitar-Singing-Tune Writing-Band Coaching/Arranging-Technique 

Janie LOVES to teach, and share her skills as a teacher to help people learn and enjoy playing the music they love. She has developed a proven approach that focuses on technique, rhythm and musicality to help her students reach their musical goals quickly and have fun, too, no matter what the musical genre! With over 35 years teaching experience, she can help anyone learn to play the fiddle, clawhammer banjo and back up guitar, and have fun with music! Janie is also great at coaching singers using a similar approach to her instrumental work-learning how to listen, express yourself with technique and musicality. She just taught a singing workshop at the Brussels Roots Music Festival which was a rousing success!
